IX. SET UP & ADJUSTMENT
Note: The Shadow ST/DT is shipped fully assem-
bled except for the following items which may
need to be attached or adjusted before final adjust-
ments are made. Setting the chair on a flat surface
(such as a workbench or table) helps make these
procedures easier.
Note on Torque Setting: Unless otherwise, use
a torque setting of 60 in./lbs. when assembling this
wheelchair.
A. WHEELS
Depress the quick-release button on the axle
and slide it into the axle sleeve until it locks.
The axle is not secure until the outside
quick-release button pops out to its fully
extended position. Check to make sure
the axles are locked.
B. WHEEL LOCKS
Shadow ST/DT wheelchairs are shipped
with wheel locks mounted. Wheel locks
are installed at the factory unless you
have requested otherwise.
Note on Torque Setting: Use a torque setting of
100 in./lbs. when assembling wheel locks.
Low-Mount Scissor Wheel Locks:
The wheel lock mounts on a split-clamp
system. Loosen the bolts on the two
inside clamps. Position wheel lock on
frame tube and tighten bolts.
High-Mount Push-to-Lock or Scissor
Wheel Locks:
The wheel lock mounts on a split-clamp
system. Loosen the bolts on the two
inside clamps. Position wheel lock on
frame tube and tighten bolts.
Using wheel locks for braking is dangerous.
Use wheel locks for parking ONLY. When
properly adjusted, wheel locks prevent the
rear wheels from turning when the chair
is parked. Always adjust the wheel locks
after making any changes to the rear cam-
ber tube position. Wheel locks should be
embedded into the tires to prevent wheel
movement (when in the locked position).

matically lock into place.

backward.
Armrests are detachable. Lifting the
wheelchair by them may cause damage to
the chair or injury to the rider. NEVER
lift the wheelchair by the armrests.

er and placing locking pin through holes.
Note: Use a torque setting of 100 in./lbs. when
assembling wheel locks.
CAUTION:To allow the anti-tip tubes to
function properly there must be a 1 1/2” to
2” clearance from the anti-tip wheel to the
ground.
Failure to adjust anti-tip tubes correctly

Quickie supplier. Quickie Designs recom-
mends anti-tip tubes for wheelchairs.
